Relation to Microsoft
SharePoint

Sitecore has been compared to Microsoft SharePoint, [5]
Microsoft's primary web-based Content Management System and a
product of the Microsoft Office platform. Although there are
certain areas where the features of both products overlap, both
systems aim at different fields of application. Whereas Microsoft
SharePoint is typically used in intranet collaboration
scenarios[6],
Sitecore is regularly employed to manage both public and internal
web content.

Technology

Sitecore, which is built on Microsoft .NET 3.5
technology, delivers personalized content to visitors
dynamically[7].
